True Life in God

how can one elaborate a concept
of what is given in a vision
of such inexpressible splendour?
without grace and a full revelation
given from God Himself,
what is unseen by the eye
will remain always unseen
and well hidden;
but today, in our days, it so pleases God
to give us all the assurance
as He had given His disciples then
and His apostles,
of the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit;
the Holy Spirit of Grace that will show us
the path of virtues that lead souls
into the Mystical union
with the Bridegroom;
I am, My beloved, the Spirit of holiness
giving to each one of you a variety of
gifts, these are the jewels of heaven, the
treasures that are distributed freely to
sanctify My temples; everything that is
distributed, is distributed by grace
through Me; I have not descended
1
to
inflict punishment on anyone of you, but
instead I come through this noble Ode to
wed you, and as a bridegroom who
lavishes his bride with jewels, I am
offering you to adorn you with My
Divine gifts for our matrimonial
ceremony;
I am not moved by eloquence of words
or affected by their utterance, but I
delight in a contrite heart; so you who
seek Me come and learn: if you do not
test Me
2
but come to Me with simplicity
of heart, then I, like a river, will flow in
you; I will teach you how to cultivate
intimacy with Us; with sweetness and
tenderness I will instruct you, schooling
you to walk with Us and to be meek to
My lights and movements; and as you
have seen Me, Vassula, in the vision, My
Sovereignty is inexpressible and My

surpasses
human
understanding;
ah Vassula, do not let Me hear from
you again, ‘of what purpose do I serve...’
3
I have, with My Breath animated your
lifeless members! continue to perform
good deeds in every manner and do not
fear; We had asked you to devote your
life for others and so you have; with
delight We have trained you and
educated you to have Us as the principle
of your life and since then We have
shown you that you no longer belong to
yourself but to the One who robed you
with His Light, moving you in Me,
inhaling in Me;
whenever you cried out to Me: “I am
slipping,” have I not supported you?
have I not consoled you? I said that
when you will be planted in the House of
Yahweh you will flourish in His Courts
and that you will have free access to go
in and out in Our Courts, while your
body will be moving among men your
heart and mind will be enraptured in the
luminous light of heaven; if anyone,
4
Vassula, lifts his eyebrow to you and
narrows his eyes and asks you: “what do
you mean when you say, we too can
possess God? this cannot be done, nor
said;” I tell you, unless one has
experienced the Divine Presence in his
heart, the radiance and the Luminous
Light of My presence within him, he will
never know nor comprehend what is
sealed and hidden, for it is through Me
that those mysteries are revealed; the
door of Wisdom will only open to a
contrite heart and to those who in spite
of their impoverished soul will fulfil the
Commandments; in these souls will I
reveal Myself;
3
Like sometimes, often perhaps, I believe, that the
work I do for our Lord does not reach the Lord’s
demands.

One priest, after hearing from us that God told us
that not only He can possess us but that He desires
us as well to possess Him, he was shocked.
